Synthesized BG-MCM-41 as Support Catalyst for Fenton-Like Reaction of Lignin Degradation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Lignin was degraded by Fenton-like reaction using Cu-BG-MCM41, in which BG-MCM41 was synthesized by hydrothermal technique from Bagasse ash (BG) as a support. Cu was immobilized on BG-MCM41 by in situ hydrothermal and impregnation method and characterized by XRD and BET surface area. The Fenton-like reactions were carried out in a batch reactor using 5wt%CuO/SiO2, 10wt%CuO/SiO2, 5wt%Cu-BG-MCM41 and 10wt%Cu-BG-MCM41 at the pH of 3 and the temperature of 80°C. The Cu loading, pH, and temperature affected lignin degradation. The efficiency of lignin degradation obtained were 95% for 5wt%CuO/SiO2, 95% for 10wt%CuO/SiO2, 65% for 5wt%Cu-BG-MCM41 and 96% for 10wt%Cu-BG-MCM41 at the pH of 3 and 80°C for 30 min. The results show that pH and temperature affected the stability of Cu loading, in which it was leached into the aqueous solution and that the reaction will occur in the aqueous solution more than on the surface of catalyst. Thus, 5wt%Cu-BG-MCM41 has the highest stability for Fenton-like reactions.
